what makes things so amusing is when people get caught out making a dumb comment then keep squirming out of it.

again he ALSO won the NRL title as a 6.

jamie lyon is twice the player he is as a Centre than he is a stand off...

so he must have been the best centre to ever play RL given he won the NRL at 6.

Would be no suprise. Would be no great loss.

He's a very good 9 playing at 7.

It was the intention for Monaghan to play 6 in Lyon's first season Manly and Lyon in the centre - sadly Monaghan proved a disaster in the trials and was sidelined which resulted in him taking the money - Cullen was always blinded by NRL status - I don't see any serious NRL club coming in for him - to say he is fine player is a joke - his defence is laughable

who are you talking about now?

I agree, that is a good point. Monaghan was a sensation in his last season at Manly but he was playing at Hooker. He was replaced by Orford at 7 a few seasons ago.

The big question has always been how good is Michael Monaghan. He is a strange player to work out. He has touches of brilliance at 7 but seems to lack consistency and seems to go missing in some games.

The position he is consistently good at is Hooker and that is not what Warrington need him to be. A return to the NRL may be the best move for him.

Maybe Warrington need to sign a good Stand off to replace him rather than a scrum half.

The sooner a lot more follow him back the better for the future of the game in GB and the more spaces for home reared talent and a lot better value for money!

Monaghan lost his place at five eighth to Lyon? I must have missed that.

Monas played one game at stand off in 2007 and one game there in 2006. I think you will find Lyon replaced Travis Burns.

Anyway, his form for Warrington has been poor but he's little more than a sideshow when Briers plays. Wire would be much better served by keeping Monaghan and replacing Briers with a less dominant half back.

Monas is a fine player whose best position is at hooker. If Tony Smith started Monaghan at number nine and rotated him with Higham they would be a much better side.

Correct
On Sunday Briers was on the bench and until Monas went off injured he was completely bossing the show with his best game in a wire shirt by a mile.

both those indicate hes a really good player.

so losing your place to jamie lyon (which he didnt anyway) is nothing to be ashamed of.

keep it up, please.

Lyon won he MOS as a centre - as you say please keep up?

Mark O'Neil won an NRL trophy does that make him a good player too - you really need to think before you post
